I know on road bikes any wheel with more than 16 spokes and less than a 25mm rim is considered "standard" and gets automatic UCI approval for road racing. Stupid rule because I sure as hell wouldn't want to ride a 16 spoke 20mm rimmed wheel!!

On the official side: The UCI were to change the wheels regs so that any wheel would have to get UCI testing and approval and a sticker for use in 2014. It looked like 65mm was going to be set as the maximum depth for any (road? mass start?) rim. This week there was a news story that Brian Cookson had suspended the projects the technical committee were working on.

So now, not sure at all if there will be any changes coming in for the 2014 season.
